I am called of God. My authority is above that of kings of the earth. By revelation I have been selected as a personal representative of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is my master and He has chosen me to represent Him--to stand in His place, to say and do what He Himself would say and do if He personally were ministering to the very people to whom He has sent me. My voice is His voice, and my acts are His acts; my doctrine is His doctrine. My Commission is to do what He wants done; To say what He wants said; to be a living modern witness in word and in deed of the divinity of his great and marvelous Latter-day work. How great is my calling! • My Missionary Commission • Elder Bruce R. McConkie •

LETTER: Elder Colton Nunley • November 9th, 2010

Subject: hola hola hola

hey thank you for the email. it was awesome seeing matt. so i absolutely love it here. it is so cool to be in tuned to the spirit 24/7 and i was blessed with an awesome companion and an amazing district. so i havent said an english prayer since friday and they are teaching us so much so fast it is amazing. it feels like i've already written to you guys because whenever i write in my journal i write as if it is a letter to mom and so once i fill up that journal i will have to mail it to you guys so you can read it if you want. i know you will mom cuz i know you wont be satisfied with short emails. but really it is amazing here i love it so much. i feel blessed that the Lord considers me worthy as a tool in his hands. my companions name is Elder Cluff and we gave our first lesson yesterday to a pretend investigator and it was crazy because the first 15 minutes had to be in only spanish!!! Que deficil! just so you know i wrote you guys a letter this morning because i have limited time on the computer. the days go by so slow here and it just takes forever but it feels like i've already been here for a month which is weird but yeah i said a lot more in my letter so yeah. oh dan walker told me something that i really liked the morning i came into the mtc he said remember two things on my mission... Love and Obedience... i liked that so much and i try to live by it. also we had sheri dew and some other speakers come talk to us and one of them said: "There is absolutely no reason at any point in time that we shouldn't feel grateful." i liked that one muy mucho. oh on the back of my letter i wrote to you guys two other quotes i really liked one in spanish and one in english. just so you know the spanish one ISN'T a translation of the first one you guys have to figure out what it means. i think that the spanish one is something you can really visualize in your mind. oh as i was walkin out of the temple today ammon miller came up to me and said hello Elder Nunley!! it was so crazy!!!! haha i loved talking to him he is such a great kid!! i told him to give you guys hugs for me whenever he comes home so if he doesn't tell him he will receive less blessings because i am a missionary and i can determine how many people get haha but yeah love all you guys and you guys should check out dearelder.com that way i can get mail from you guys any day of the week.
love you guys,
Elder Nunley
